The exodus of the largest religious minority, the Hindus, from Bangladesh into neighbouring India over seven decades since the 1950s is owed, in no small part, to the enactment of the former Enemy Property Act and the subsequent Vested Properties Act. The article explores the trajectory of these Acts from examining the political and legal context of its origin, to tracing the various changes made in them through subsequent legislation and executive orders perpetuating an illegality, until the eventual passing of the return of vested property acts. A review of key cases on the issue of vested property acts shows the vacillating role of the judiciary in response to the use of legal tools of legislation and executive orders to oust Hindus from their lands and properties. The article assesses the potential for success of the project of returning vested properties given the realities of the state of the properties and procedural challenges.
自20世纪50年代以来的70多年里,最大的宗教少数群体印度教徒从孟加拉国涌入邻国印度,这在很大程度上要归功于前《敌对财产法》和随后的《既得财产法》的颁布。本文探讨了这些法案的发展轨迹,从审查其起源的政治和法律背景,到通过随后的立法和行政命令使非法行为永续,直到最终通过既得财产法案的回归。对既得财产法问题的关键案例的审查表明,司法机构在应对利用立法和行政命令等法律工具将印度教徒逐出其土地和财产时所起的摇摆不定的作用。鉴于财产现状和程序上的挑战,本文评估了归还既得财产项目成功的可能性。

The Right to Confidential Communication with Defence Counsel in JapanRecent Legal Disputes Over Mail Censorship and Photography in Visiting Rooms 日本与辩护律师的保密通信权最近关于邮件审查和探视室摄影的法律纠纷

In spite of the common global position of protecting the right to confidential communication, the Japanese prison authorities create barriers to communication between pre-trial inmates and defence counsel. Any correspondence, including correspondence between pre-trial inmates and defence counsel, may be opened and read by prison staff. In addition, prison authorities have established regulations to prohibit any visitors from bringing in cameras or mobile phones. They do not allow counsel to take photos in visiting rooms, claiming that these regulations are equally applicable to lawyers. This article examines the legality of the current practice regarding mail censorship and the prohibition of photography in visiting rooms, taking into consideration international human rights standards. It concludes that the current practice diverges from the international human rights standards including the Nelson Mandela Rules, which protects the full confidentiality of communication between inmates and lawyers, and access to effective legal aid. Since the arrest of Nissan’s former chairman Carlos Ghosn in November 2018, Japan’s ‘hostage justice’ system – in which suspects are held for a long period in harsh conditions to coerce a confession – has encountered a barrage of criticism. It should be noted, however, that interruption of inmates-defence counsel communication constitutes another dark side of Japanese criminal justice. This article will shed light on the everyday issues which Japanese defence counsel face in actual criminal cases.
尽管保护保密通信权是全球的共同立场,但日本监狱当局对预审囚犯和辩护律师之间的通信设置了障碍。监狱工作人员可以打开和阅读任何信件,包括预审囚犯与辩护律师之间的信件。此外,监狱当局制定了规定,禁止任何访客携带相机或手机。他们不允许律师在探视室拍照,声称这些规定同样适用于律师。本文考虑到国际人权标准,审查了目前关于邮件审查和禁止在探视室拍照的做法的合法性。它的结论是,目前的做法与包括《纳尔逊·曼德拉规则》在内的国际人权标准存在分歧,该规则保护囚犯与律师之间的通信完全保密,以及获得有效法律援助的机会。自2018年11月日产汽车前董事长卡洛斯·戈恩被捕以来,日本的“人质司法”系统——嫌疑人在恶劣条件下被长期关押以逼供——遭到了接二连三的批评。然而,应该指出的是,囚犯辩护律师沟通的中断构成了日本刑事司法的另一个黑暗面。这篇文章将阐明日本辩护律师在实际刑事案件中面临的日常问题。

The Case for Transformative Reparations for Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Rakhine State at the asean Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights 东盟政府间人权委员会关于若开邦冲突性暴力变革性赔偿的案例
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-12-04 DOI: 10.1163/15718158-02002003

This article addresses the question of whether Rohingya victims of conflict-related sexual violence (crsv) in Rakhine State in 2017 have recourse to transformative reparations at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (asean) Inter-Governmental Commission on Human Rights (aichr). crsv was widespread during the August 2017 non-international armed conflict in Rakhine State. crsv also occurred in the context of longstanding subjugation of the Rohingya minority by the Government of Myanmar and Myanmar’s security forces perpetrating sexual violence against the Rohingya and other ethnic minorities. Transformative reparations for crsv are reparations intended to engender structural changes to improve victims’ circumstances and guarantee non-recurrence. An evaluation of asean’s human rights frameworks and the mandate, purposes and principles underpinning the aichr, reveals unexplored potential for transformative reparations for crsv at the aichr for Rohingya victims of crsv in Rakhine State in 2017. The asean Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance is well placed to coordinate the delivery of transformative reparations in Myanmar.
本文探讨2017年若开邦冲突性暴力(crsv)的罗兴亚受害者是否可以向东南亚国家联盟(东盟)政府间人权委员会(aichr)寻求变革性赔偿。2017年8月若开邦的非国际性武装冲突期间,crv普遍存在。在缅甸政府长期压制罗兴亚少数民族以及缅甸安全部队对罗兴亚人和其他少数民族实施性暴力的背景下,也发生了暴力冲突。对交叉伤害的变革性赔偿是旨在产生结构性变化以改善受害者境况并保证不再发生的赔偿。对东盟人权框架以及支持该国际人权委员会的任务、宗旨和原则的评估,揭示了2017年在该国际人权委员会为若开邦的罗兴亚人受害者提供变革性赔偿的潜力。东盟人道主义援助协调中心有能力协调在缅甸提供变革性赔偿。

Judicial Adherence to the Minimum Core Obligation of a Right to Health in Bangladesh 孟加拉国对健康权最低核心义务的司法遵守
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-06-04 DOI: 10.1163/15718158-02001004
Sheikh Mohammad Towhidul Karim, S. Alam, G. Tomossy, A. Faruque
This article examines how a right to health, expressed as a minimum core obligation under international law, can be advanced within the constitutional framework of Bangladesh. Reinforcing this right is important within the post-2015 Development Agenda under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing upon examples of other jurisdictions to develop minimum core obligations of a right to health, it is argued that courts have a key role to play in actively enforcing a right to health to benefit poor, vulnerable and marginalised people. This article proposes that judicial adherence through interpretation of domestic and international law may provide the best mechanism to promote a right to health as a minimum core obligation in Bangladesh.
这篇文章探讨了如何在孟加拉国宪法框架内推进健康权,这项权利被表述为国际法规定的最低核心义务。在联合国可持续发展目标下的2015年后发展议程中,加强这一权利至关重要。借鉴其他司法管辖区制定健康权最低核心义务的例子,有人认为,法院在积极执行健康权以造福穷人、弱势群体和边缘化人群方面发挥着关键作用。该条建议,通过解释国内法和国际法来遵守司法规定,可以为促进健康权成为孟加拉国的一项最低核心义务提供最佳机制。

Political Audiences and the Abolition of Capital Punishment in the Asia Pacific 政治受众与亚太废除死刑
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-06-04 DOI: 10.1163/15718158-02001001
S. Bradley
This article investigates why some states in the Asia Pacific have retained capital punishment, while others have abolished it, either de facto or de jure. In contrast to existing theories, it is theorised that governments conduct cost-benefit calculations considering both domestic support and international pressure for abolition, then formulate their death penalty policy based on the lowest cost scenario. This theory is tested by applying controlled comparison and process tracing analysis to three cases: Cambodia, South Korea, and Indonesia. These case studies demonstrate that pressures from domestic and international political audiences are determinative in states’ decision-making processes regarding capital punishment.
本文调查了为什么亚太地区的一些国家保留了死刑,而另一些国家则在事实上或法律上废除了死刑。与现有理论相反,有理论认为,政府在考虑国内支持和国际废除死刑压力的情况下进行成本效益计算,然后根据最低成本情景制定死刑政策。这一理论通过对柬埔寨、韩国和印度尼西亚三个案例的对照比较和过程追踪分析进行了检验。这些案例研究表明,来自国内和国际政治受众的压力对各国关于死刑的决策过程具有决定性作用。

The Communitarian Case for Decriminalising Male Homosexuality for Singapore’s Common Good 为新加坡的共同利益而将男同性恋除罪化的社群案例
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-06-04 DOI: 10.1163/15718158-02001003

Should Singapore’s conservative, communitarian society continue to criminalise male homosexuality in the name of its common good? This is the fundamental question raised by Singapore’s continued retention of Section 377A of the Penal Code, a colonial-era law that criminalises only male homosexual conduct. With reference to Parliament’s reasons for retaining 377A and scholarly arguments against homosexuality, this article reconstructs, and debunks, the best philosophical case in favour of 377A; namely, that it should be conserved to sustain communitarian Singapore’s common good. Instead, the article argues that, because homosexuality is morally permissible, 377A does not satisfy the ‘goodness’ component of the common good and hence does not, and cannot, sustain communitarian Singapore’s common good. Rather, a communitarian approach to 377A, one based on an inclusive conception of communitarianism and an aggregative conception of the common good, would lead to its repeal and vindicate gay men’s right to equality.
新加坡保守的社群主义社会是否应该以其共同利益的名义继续将男性同性恋定为犯罪?这是新加坡继续保留《刑法典》第377A条提出的根本问题,这是一项殖民时代的法律,只将男性同性恋行为定为犯罪。参考议会保留377A的理由和反对同性恋的学术论点,本文重构并揭穿了支持377A的最佳哲学案例;也就是说,它应该得到保护,以维持社群主义新加坡的共同利益。相反,文章认为,由于同性恋在道德上是允许的,377A不能满足共同利益的“善”成分,因此不能也不能维持社群主义新加坡的共同利益。相反,377A的社群主义方法,基于社群主义的包容性概念和共同利益的综合概念,将导致其被废除,并维护男同性恋的平等权利。

Compulsory Treatment in the Community in Hong Kong 香港的社区强制治疗
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-06-04 DOI: 10.1163/15718158-02001002
Urania Chiu
This article examines the current legal framework and practice of the conditional discharge of mental health patients in Hong Kong under Section 42B of the Mental Health Ordinance from a human rights perspective. Using existing literature and findings from semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with medical professionals, the author argues that the current regime lacks adequate safeguards for mental health patients, both in law and in actual practice, and suffers from the absence of a clear guiding purpose. As such, the law and practice of conditional discharge would most likely infringe patients’ fundamental rights to private and family life and to liberty and personal security. The article concludes with the suggestion that an evidence-based approach is required to determine the purpose of the regime and how it may be best designed for that end.
本文从人权的角度,检视香港现时根据《精神健康条例》第42B条有条件释放精神健康病人的法律架构和做法。提交人利用现有文献和对医疗专业人员进行的半结构化定性访谈的结果认为,现行制度在法律和实际操作中都缺乏对精神病人的充分保障,而且缺乏明确的指导目的。因此,有条件出院的法律和做法极有可能侵犯病人的私人和家庭生活以及自由和人身安全的基本权利。文章最后建议,需要一种基于证据的方法来确定该制度的目的,以及如何最好地为此目的而设计该制度。

Accountability for Human Rights Violations in Cambodia: Mapping the Indirect Effects of Transitional Justice Mechanisms 对柬埔寨侵犯人权行为的问责:描绘过渡时期司法机制的间接影响

When studying accountability for human rights violations in Cambodia, it is crucial to understand the role human rights non-governmental organisations (ngos) can play in holding duty-bearers accountable. This article consists of two parts. The first traces how some prominent Cambodian ngos use the language of human rights and which issues they prioritise. The analysis shows that issues related to civil and political rights dominate their discourse, while there is remarkably little attention to issues relating to economic, social and cultural rights. This prioritisation is not rooted in popular priorities, nor can it be adequately explained by referring to mainstream theories of donor influence or professionalised elites. To better understand where these priorities come from, the second part of the article examines the Cambodian transitional justice process. This analysis shows a significant overlap between the priorities of the selected ngos and those of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (eccc). It is therefore argued that transitional justice mechanisms, like the eccc, may have an agenda-setting power far beyond what is commonly assumed. In this specific case, this influence raises questions about accountability for past and on-going violations of economic, social and cultural rights.
在研究对柬埔寨侵犯人权行为的问责时,了解人权非政府组织(ngo)在追究责任方面可以发挥的作用至关重要。本文由两部分组成。第一部分追溯了一些著名的柬埔寨非政府组织如何使用人权语言,以及他们优先考虑哪些问题。分析表明,与公民权利和政治权利有关的问题在他们的讨论中占主导地位,而与经济、社会和文化权利有关的问题却很少受到注意。这种优先顺序并非植根于大众的优先事项,也不能通过参考捐助者影响或专业精英的主流理论来充分解释。为了更好地理解这些优先事项的来源,文章的第二部分考察了柬埔寨过渡时期的司法程序。这一分析表明,选定的非政府组织的优先事项与柬埔寨法院特别分庭的优先事项之间有很大的重叠。因此,有人认为,过渡时期司法机制,如eccc,可能具有远远超出通常假设的议程设定权力。在这一具体案件中,这种影响引发了对过去和现在侵犯经济、社会和文化权利行为的问责问题。

The Philippines Supreme Court’s controversial Reproductive Health (rh) Law case gave occasion for a probing inquiry into legal doctrines and policy issues. The ‘conscientious objection’ provisions incorporated into the Law were probably the most divisive issue in the case. The provisions were intended to protect the religious scruples of health care providers. While the duties to extend contraceptive information and services to a patient were imposed on them, there was an opt-out clause in the event a provider conscientiously objects to these duties, so long as he refers the patient to another health care provider, who does not share his objection, to attend to her needs. The Court found this imposition of a duty to refer to be legally unacceptable relying on the United Kingdom (uk) case of Doogan and Wood v nhs Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board. This resort to uk jurisprudence was misguided in that the decision was overruled on appeal. There were, moreover, methodological differences between the two jurisdictions as to the resolution of conscientious objection cases. This article attempts to learn from and gain some insight into the issue of conscientious objection from a more comprehensive examination of uk jurisprudence, as well as from underlying moral, political, and philosophical principles of the Philippine Constitution.
菲律宾最高法院有争议的《生殖健康法》案为对法律理论和政策问题进行深入调查提供了契机。纳入法律的“良心拒服兵役”条款可能是本案中最具争议的问题。这些规定旨在保护医疗保健提供者的宗教顾虑。虽然向病人提供避孕信息和服务的义务是强加给他们的,但有一项选择退出条款,如果提供者认真反对这些义务,只要他将病人转介给另一个不同意他的反对意见的保健提供者,以照顾她的需要。根据联合王国Doogan和Wood诉大格拉斯哥和克莱德保健委员会一案,法院认为这种强制规定提及的义务在法律上是不可接受的。这种诉诸英国判例的做法是错误的,因为该决定在上诉中被推翻。此外,在解决良心拒服兵役案件方面,两个司法管辖区在方法上存在差异。本文试图从更全面的英国法理学以及菲律宾宪法的基本道德、政治和哲学原则中学习并获得一些关于良心拒服兵役问题的见解。
